Thank you both for that info. I am not sure that I have the
knowledge/confidence to go looking into directories that aren't my
home directory. In any case even if I did succeed it could probably
get me into trouble with my hoster.
But this does lead me to think of a few more questions. If I closed
my mailing list then wouldn't all the Mailman archive files be
deleted ?
If I did that then I could presumably start the list again. Identical
to the previous list. But with archiving turned "off" from the
beginning ?
Regards, John.
